My electricity cost is pretty high so do you think it would be smarter to buy a 1070/1080 or a AMD RX 480 8GB?

I know the NVidia cards are better when it comes to power usage so I just wanted to see what you guys think.

If want to mine ETH, don't get the 1080. The memory is not as good as on the other GTX 10 models. I get 25 MH/s. The 1070 gets ~30 MH/s and the 1060 ~24 MH/s and those are cheaper than a 1080. The 1080 Ti gets ~37 MH/s but is $700+. The 1080 is good for ZEC though, I get 550 H/s at 70% TDP. The GTX 1070 is currently the best overalll Nvidia card for the price IMO.
